2 Other WPI Favorites M3301 Manual Micromanipulator The world s most widely used micromanipulator Weighing just 550 grams and employing a slim spacesaving design, this well-built micro ma n ip u la tor outsells all oth ers world wide for high precision experiments where mag ni fi ca tion is in the range of up to 250. Its design allows units to stand tightly grouped since all control knobs project to the rear. And because con trol knobs are clustered with in an 8 cm area in a sin gle vertical plane, res o lu tion is quick the hand works blindly while the eye monitors the microscopic im age. Vernier scales allow readings to 0.1 mm; x-axis fine control allows readings to 10 microns. The instrument employs rackand-pinion drive, V-shaped guideways, and cross roller bearings, so all movement is sure and repeatable, without drift, sideplay, back lash, or sticking. Contact parts are milled of hardened steel for high performance and long life. Shown on optional M-3 Tilting Base with optional 5-lb Weight #5464 Left- or right-handed versions of the M3301 are supplied with a standard 12 mm clamp (M2) and one microelectrode holder (M3301EH).

5 501622/ (Universal Manipulator Stand) ABOUT THIS MANUAL The following symbols are used in this guide: This symbol indicates a CAUTION. Cautions warn against actions that can cause damage to equipment. Please read these carefully. This symbol indicates a WARNING. Warnings alert you to actions that can cause personal injury or pose a physical threat. Please read these carefully. NOTES and TIPS contain helpful information. INTRODUCTION The Universal Manipulator Stands allow you to mount a variety of manual and motorized micromanipulators at a range of heights and angles. The base is solid aluminum, and it is configured with industry standard, pre-bored holes (1/4 x 20 x 1 or M6 x 25mm). This allows for direct mounting to any type of vibration-free table or optical bench. The extruded tower is either 30cm (WPI #501622) or 45cm (WPI #501623). The height of the mounted micromanipulator may be set to any height along the entire length of the stand. Each stand includes one rotation clamp. With the purchase of extra rotation clamps (WPI #501624), additional micromanipulators may be mounted on the stand. Parts List After unpacking, verify that there is no visible damage to the sensor. Verify that all items are included (Fig. 1): (1) Base plate (1) Post (30mm or 45mm) (1) Rotation clamp with handle (5) M8 Base assembly screws (2) M4 Manipulator mounting screws (2) 1/4 x20 Thumb screws with washers for English tables (SAE) (2) M6x1 Thumb screws with washers for metric tables (1) 3.0mm Hex wrench (1) 6.0mm Hex wrench (1) UMS Spacer Kit (1) Instruction Manual World Precision Instruments 1

7 501622/ (Universal Manipulator Stand) ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS 1. Disasemble the rotation clamp assembly by rotating the handle counter clockwise. Remove the insert (Fig. 2). NOTE: Hold the rotation clamp securely as you unscrew the handle. The spring can cause the pieces to fly apart. Washer Insert Spring Adjustable Handle Rotation Clamp Fig. 2 Rotation clamp and handle disassembled 2. Slide the insert from the rotation clamp assembly into the extrusion channel at the bottom of the post (Fig. 3). Fig. 3 (Left) Insert is oriented so the screw hole is facing out. Fig. 4 (Right) Position the rotation clamp. 3. Reposition the washer, spring and rotation clamp on the adjustable handle and screw the handle back into the insert. Before tightening the handle, slide the rotation clamp up the manipulator stand to the desired position. 4. Turn the post upside down. Align the holes on the base plate with the holes in the bottom of the post. The flat side of the base plate faces the post so that when the base assembly screws are installed, the screw heads are flush with the bottom of the base plate (Fig. 5). Insert four base assembly screws and use the 6mm hex wrench to tighten them securely. World Precision Instruments 3

8 Fig. 5 (Left)Secure the base to the post. Fig. 6 (Right) The base is mounted to the table. 5. Use the appropriate two thumb screws (with washers) to secure the manipulator stand to the table (Fig. 6). The two 1/4 x 20 thumb screws are for use with English tables (SAE), and the two M6 x 1 thumb screws are for use with metric tables. ADJUSTING THE HANDLE The spring-loaded handle can be disengaged from the clamping screw and rotated to 16 different positions. Lift the handle, rotate it to the desired position and release the handle to re-engage the clamping screw. MOUNTING A MICROMANIPULATOR Use the two M4 manipulator mounting screws to secure the micromanipulator to the rotation clamp (Fig. 7). KITE, Märzhäuser and SM325 PPM mm 19.5mm Fig. 7 Choose two holes to mount the micromanipulator NOTE: Three holes are available on the rotation clamp, but only two are used to secure a micromanipulator. The KITE, Märzhäuser and SM325 use two holes set on the diagonal (~19.5mm apart). The PPM5000 uses the two vertical holes, (~16mm apart). M325 will not mount on this stand. 4 World Precision Instruments

9 501622/ (Universal Manipulator Stand) Using the Spacer The Spacer is designed for use with the UMS Universal Manipulator Stand. It is used to offset the manipulator so that the vertical post does not interfere when tilting the manipulator. Manipulator Spacer UMS Mounting Arm Fig. 8 The manipulator is mounted on the stand with the spacer attached to the arm of the UMS. 1. Position the horizontal arm of the UMS stand so that the weight of the manipulator serves to tighten the horizontal arm against the vertical post. The correct orientation is shown in Fig. 9. In this position, the weight of the manipulator serves to tighten the arm, so that it doesn t loosen and fall. Rotate lever clockwise to tighten Fig. 9 The properly position the arm of the manipulator is shown in the image on the left. The incorrectly positioned arm is shown on the right.

10 2. It may be necessary to remove the ring clamp from the manipulator (Fig. 10). Only two screws will align with the screw holes. Line up the holes in the spacer with the holes in the manipulator arm. Then, slide the screws through both the manipulator arm and the spacer. Fig. 10 (Left) If necessary, remove the ring clamp from the manipulator. Fig. 11 (Right) Run two screws through the UMS arm and through the spacer as shown. 3. Line up the holes on the screws in the spacer with the threaded holes on the manipulator. Use a 3mm hex wrench to tighten the two screws. Fig. 12 (Left) Line up the screws with the holes in the manipulator. Fig. 13 (Right) Tighten the screws with a 3mm hex wrench.
